I am pleased to announce that after arduous searching, I have found a place. It has come to be known as the Colorful Place, a 2 bedroom upstairs in an old house, as adorned with diverse colors as Becca and Perry’s. There is a Coral room, an Electric yellow Room, an Indigo room, full kitchen, bath (clawfoot tub, baby!), and porch, settle in a quiet neighborhood right outside of downtown. 

I’m pushing the wire as far as move in time. The flakey landlord keeps pushing back the move-in date…which is now the day I will be leaving. great. But, I am grateful for a place after all the hullaballoo. Mostly, I just need to unload the girthy load Sasha little-Subaru-that-could is bearing…she seems like she might break under the weight. I’ll post pictures as soon as it’s nested!

One of the blessings of all this house-searching has been that I now THOROUGHLY know Richmond. In looking, I tracked down a great local foods market, Elwood Thompson. After reading Omnivore’s Dilemma, and Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, it is a treat to live in a state that produces so much…produce! Hopefully, I can properly food-out healthily as I crunch through the gauntlet of nursing school. 

As a thank you, I cooked a dinner for Becca and Perry last night of predominantly local food. , and we finished off with an amazing documentary about Annie Leibovitz…ya’ll gotta see it. 

Anyway, hasta la proxima vez!
